Hogwarts. Twilight, and Steve


Steve walked into Tony’s lab, bouncing with purpose in his step. “Tony, I’ve got an idea for Peter’s 11th birthday.”
Tony sighed. He knew what the idea was - it didn’t take a genius to figure it out, especially when his husband was decked from head to toe in wizard gear. “It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that you’ve just read through fiction of the 90’s and devoured all the Harry Potter books in a week would it?” Tony was going to blast whoever taught Steve how to use eBay with his repulsors the next time they’re in battle.
Steve’s excitement crumbled. “But Tony-“
“No.”
“Tony it would be really cute-“
“No Steve.”
“Tony-“
“Steve, do you know how many kids crack their skulls every single year from running into a brick barrier at Kings Cross in London? Hundreds. I’m not going to let me son fall into the delusion that ‘Hogwarts is real’.”
Don’t look at him don’t look at him he’s got those puppy dog eyes…
Steve deflated. “Ok fine then…” He turned around and was about to leave the lab when Tony spotted the book he was carrying.
“Hey, is that the book you’re holding the one you’re reading next?” Tony casually walked over to Steve and took the book from him as calmly as he could.
“Yeah, Pepper lent it to me, something about a vampire love story that’s extremely popular - TONY - OH MY GOD GET IT OUT OF THE FURNACE - I HAVE TO GIVE THAT BACK IT’S A SIGNED COPY!”
